    On this episode of the Noobs and Knockouts Podcast, we return to Lucha Underground, where it's Monster vs Monster, Mil Muertes vs Matanza Cueto! Can Death put a stop to a God? Also, the Trios Title tournament concludes, and if I had a nickel for every time the MATB were hamstrung by an injury during their trios title reigns, I'd have two, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice. We also have Johnny Mundo and Cage settling their beef in a steel cage match. It's Cage...in a Cage. Won't you join us?

    On this episode of the Noobs and Knockouts Podcast, we return to 1985, where we watch TWO episodes, one from Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling and one from WCW, as Magnum T.A. seeks an I Quit Match against Tully Blanchard at Starrcade. The NWA President doesn't want to sanction it, but Magnum has a back up plan. Also on this episode, we can WAY deep into Dusty Rhode's physical therapy as the entire Horsemen proclaim Dusty coming back is a "medical impossibility". Plus, Jimmy Valiant finds himself taken with a lively new lady! All this plus more, including 16 matches that all kind of suck. Won't you join us?

    On this episode of the Noobs and Knockouts Podcast, we return to 2012 TNA for more baby momma drama. AJ Styles swears he doesn't remember spending a night with Claire, but Claire has the pictures! And they don't really make her look good, tbh. Also on this episode, it's Open Fight Night again, so it's all BFG all the time. Plus, a rematch between Austin Aries and Bobby Roode, and the Aces & Eights continue to be a menace. NO ONE IN CHARGE, ANYTHING GOES. Won't you join us?

    Explicit

    On this episode of the Noobs and Knockouts Podcast, we bring Claire back to watch a little World Class! We've all watched The Iron Claw, now to watch the wrestling the movie was based on. It's 1983, WCCW is on the come up, nobody has died yet, and the hottest feud in Texas is The Von Erich brothers vs The Fabulous Freebirds. Also on this episode, a ton of debuts, a few ethnic stereotypes, poorly used camera work, a potentially queer icon, and a lot of history Austin apparently didn't need to research. Plus a whole conversation about Super Bowl halftime shows. Won't you join us?

    On this episode of the Noobs and Knockouts Podcast, David brings his brother on as we return to 2006! After Vince literally booked God in a match, Vince and Shane head to church to go try and find Shawn Michaels' new tag team partner. It's exactly as insane as you expect. Also on this episode, Raw being a total re-run, the explanation of the Live Sex Celebration, Umaga's first match, an Uno Reverse Card, and more! Won't you join us?
